I’m in a prison, I’m in a prison that ain’t got no key
I’m in a prison, I’m in a prison that ain’t got no key
No good behavior, ain’t gonna be no parole for me
Don’t call the governor, I got no recourse to the law
Don’t call the governor, ain’t got no recourse to the law
I’m eating that last supper, I’ll be taking that long walk come dawn
Have you seen my daddy? My daddy’s gone and left me
Have you seen my daddy? I believe he’s gone and left me
Leave me praying in the garden, leave me hanging in misery
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
They’re killing me, but they’re trying to get to you
